Understanding Landlord Apartment Insurance Policy Cover:
- Building – this policy protects your apartment building against common causes of loss such as water damage, flood, hurricane, tropical storm, tornadoes, fire, and vandalism. An up-to-date apartment appraisal is required to ensure the property is at 100% of its replacement cost.
- General Liability – Policy provides liability protection arising out of any lawsuit filed in the court by your tenants or a visitor walking on your premises. In this case, the apartment building owner is legally obligated to pay monetary damages resulting from bodily injury and property damages to the tenant. This policy also covers personal injury that includes wrongful eviction by your property manager. Additionally, your employees are covered for any liability exposures while engaging in business-related activities.
- Contents – this policy does cover all contents belonging to your business that are used for the maintenance of the building, such as ground-keeping equipment located on your property.
- Hurricane and Windstorm – Policy protects your apartment caused by a named hurricane or windstorm against any major natural disaster. A 5% deductible is applied based on your insurance policy limit.
- Building Glass – covers all your apartment building glasses arising out of any related accident that occurs on-premises.
- Equipment Breakdown – such policy coverage is specifically needed for an older apartment building in Florida to ensure all types of mechanical and electrical equipment are located on-premises, such as a boiler, elevator, water heater, and air condition units.
- Commercial Umbrella – Policy provides a higher liability limit of up to $20 Million, to rise liability protection to apartment building owners, in the event the court awarded a higher settlement over and above the underlying policy limit of one million.
